Officials from the Ministry of Industry found that Li Qinzai's group had extraordinary origins and did not look like ordinary bankers. After repeatedly checking the roster, they were still uneasy and sent people overnight to check with the Magistrate of Ma County in Weinan.
The people sent to Weinan County Yamen described Li Qinzai's appearance and demeanor. Magistrate Ma felt a little nervous at that time.
From the description, this guy is clearly Hou Benhou of Li County.
As for the people brought by Li County Marquis, they were so young and dressed in coarse clothes but all looked like young men. Magistrate Ma naturally knew that Li Qinzai had set up a school in Ganjingzhuang, and the disciples he accepted were either princes or rich and prodigal sons, and each one was older than the other.
.
Now Li County Marquis actually takes these disciples to move bricks at the construction site?
It's your business to know how to play, especially if you don't involve me, okay?
No matter who of you cuts a hole on the construction site, it will be a huge disaster for Magistrate Tsushima.
Someone under your command ran to the construction site in Puzhou and was injured. You can put a knife on your neck to thank the world.
Yes, in a society where the rule of man is greater than the rule of law, it is so unreasonable.
After confirming that it was Li Qinzai and those wealthy disciples, Magistrate Ma immediately set out from Weinan County Yamen and drove all night to the palace construction site in Puzhou.
While wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, he saluted Li Qinzai and glanced at him inadvertently. Damn it! The fourth prince, His Royal Highness King Xi, the seventh prince, His Royal Highness King Ying, and the second son of General Qibi, the grandson of Shangguan Shilang, and the second minister of Xu Zuoxiang.
son……
What kind of magical combination is this?
At this moment, these powerful children were dressed like farmers, wearing coarse cloth short shirts and straw sandals on their feet. Their fair and tender calves were exposed, covered with mud spots, and their faces were also black and red.
This group of people looked like refugees who had just escaped from the north, and had been looted by bandits along the way...
Magistrate Ma's legs were weak, his face was pale and trembling, and he stepped forward to greet each other. From the beginning to the end of the ceremony, he never straightened his waist.
Qibizhen was arguing with the officials at the construction site and was furious. When she saw Magistrate Ma saluting, Qibizhen pointed at him and looked at Li Sujie: "Who is this guy?"
Li Sujie didn't know a small person like Magistrate Ma. There were hidden dragons and crouching tigers in Ganjingzhuang Academy. Magistrate Ma always avoided Ganjingzhuang. He was in awe of these powerful children and didn't dare to see them inside.
"She should be an official, right?" Li Sujie looked at Magistrate Ma.
Magistrate Ma hurriedly introduced himself: "My subordinate is Ma Fushan, magistrate of Weinan County. I am here to pay my respects to Young Master Qibi."
Qibizhen pointed at Magistrate Ma and said: "Who cares about you, official? Get out of the way! You bastard, come here. Let's settle the matter just now. This matter is not over yet."
Magistrate Ma immediately ducked to the side and felt at ease as a common man.
What happened at the Puzhou construction site has nothing to do with the Weinan County magistrate. Do whatever you like.
The officials who had just argued with Qi Bizhen now saw that several superior officers were looking at this group of people with awe and respect. They knew that they had offended a big shot, and their faces instantly turned pale. They no longer looked arrogant, but stepped forward tremblingly.
"Xiaguan, I don't know..."
Qi Bizhen interrupted him with a wave of his hand: "Stop talking nonsense, what are the next rules? Are you going to jail me, or beat me up? You tell me, I'll take it all."
The official showed a smile that was uglier than crying: "I know my mistake, please forgive me. I really don't know your identity, and I didn't mean to offend you... I apologize to you."
As he spoke, the official bowed his head and did not get up for a long time.
Qi Bizhen still wants to show off her authority, but Li Qinzai next to her is impatient. You are a supporting role, why do you have so many scenes? Do you know that you steal the spotlight?
"It's almost done. If you want to show off your power, go back to Chang'an City and do it." Li Qinzai said coldly.
Qi Bizhen, who looked arrogant, immediately put away her expression and became respectful in the blink of an eye, as she should be.
The person next to him was amazed by his sudden change of expression, and several officials on the construction site looked at Li Qinzai.
If this group of people are all little devils who are not easy to mess with, and the young county prince who took the lead easily suppressed them with just one word, then this young county prince is obviously even more difficult to mess with...
The official from the Ministry of Industry waved his hand and ordered the few officials watching to disperse, and then stepped forward to greet him politely.
The official felt a little sad and angry, but he did not dare to show it. From Magistrate Ma's mouth, he learned that the man in front of him was actually the grandson of the famous Ying Gong, an important minister who was deeply favored by the emperor.
With such a prominent status, why did you come to my construction site to move bricks?
If you want to kill me, you can just give him a knife. There is no need to make it so grand.
Li Qinzai responded with a few words and sighed secretly in his heart.
It only took two days for his identity to be revealed. He will continue to work on the construction site, fearing that no one will dare to arrange a job for him.
Magistrate Ma bowed and called Li Qinzai aside, and then said with a grimace: "Marquis Li, please don't harm your subordinates. The imperial court is recruiting labor, why did you do it yourself?"
Li Qinzai glanced at him: "There are one hundred and twenty-two young men from Ganjing Village, including me and my disciples. Not one of them is young. Am I not a young man? Don't I look like a laborer? What's the point of doing it in person?
No?"
Magistrate Ma was about to burst into tears: "You are a very important figure in the court. Even if your hand is even slightly scratched, Your Majesty will not spare me. Marquis Li, please show mercy and save my life."
how?"
Li Qinzai looked miserable.
Of course he chose to agree, otherwise what else could he do? If his identity was exposed, he and his disciples would no longer be able to hang out on the construction site.
"Don't worry, Magistrate Ma, just think it's a joke. In fact, I'm just taking the disciples out for a tour to let them experience the sufferings of the people, so as not to teach a group of scum who don't know the world. Don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble."
Li Qinzai comforted him with a gentle look.
Magistrate Ma looked at him deeply.
He didn't believe a word of the nonsense about taking his disciples on a trip.
This Marquis of Li County behaves quite eccentrically, and there must be a reason why he came to the palace construction site to move bricks.
No matter what the reason was, Magistrate Ma didn't want to know, let alone get involved. He just wanted to quickly and respectfully ask this great god to leave.
"If you don't leave, I will continue to travel with my disciples. You are busy with your affairs in Weinan County and leave me alone." Li Qinzai flatly refused.
Magistrate Ma wanted to persuade him again, but Li Qinzai's face suddenly darkened.
He doesn't have a good temper, and he gets impatient after talking too much nonsense.
Magistrate Ma did not dare to persuade him any more, so he turned around and found an official from the Ministry of Industry and told him the identities of Li Qinzai and his disciples in detail.
The more Magistrate Ma spoke, the brighter his heart became and his eyes shone brightly.
Yes, this is Puzhou, not Weinan. The identities of Li County Marquis and his disciples have also been disclosed to the officials of the Ministry of Industry. This is obviously a perfect handover. No matter what happens next, what does they have to do with me, the Weinan County Magistrate?
With a heavy slap on the thigh, Magistrate Ma finished speaking and without waiting for the official from the Ministry of Works to react, he turned around and ran away, leaving the official from the Ministry of Works looking at the direction Magistrate Ma was leaving in bewilderment.
